Artemis Fowl Technology and Modernization Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

Foaly was a paranoid centaur, convinced that human intelligence agencies were monitoring his transport and surveillance network. To prevent them from reading his mind, he wore a tinfoil hat at all times." (3.92)

Concern for privacy never seems to disappear in human or fairy society no matter how advanced they get, since Foaly's surveillance should tell him whether he's being watched and the fairies are convinced they would be under attack if their existence was known anyway.

Quote #2

Every spoiled kid in Haven had a Hummingbird for their wilderness holidays, and here were the LEP with wings that were junk when they were new. (3.173)

Ever think about why it's possible for Artemis to get a leg up on the People technology-wise even though they have their own genius inventor? Inventing, producing, and owning superior technology requires money, and there's often no way around that fact.

Quote #3

"Nuclear power source, if I'm not mistaken. We must be careful not to underestimate our opponents." (4.95)

Seriously? Artemis seems awfully indifferent toward what would be the most important power discovery of several lifetimes.
